Product Description

Cetirizine 2HCl (P-071; UCB P071; Reactine; Zyrtec; Alerlisin; AC-170; P071), the dihydrochloride salt of cetirizine and a major active metabolite of hydroxyzine, is a 2nd-generation antihistamine used in the treatment of allergies, hay fever, angioedema, and urticarial etc. It functions as a specific inverse agonist of H1 receptor.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Histamine receptor
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Cetirizine (>5 μM) at greater concentrations can lessen the amount of GM-CSF and IL-8 released from IL-1β-stimulated A549 cells. Beyond acting as a histamine H1-receptor antagonist, cetirizine has anti-inflammatory properties[2].

ln Vivo
Cetirizine (20 mg/kg, mice, orally) inhibits the synthesis of MIF and IL-8 in mice that have been immunized and challenged with ragweed pollen, thereby exerting its anti-inflammatory effects[3].
Enzyme Assay
Cell Line: Human airway epithelial cell line A549
Concentration: 0-10 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: The survival of A549 cells incubated with various concentrations of cetirizine (0.1, 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 μM) for 24 hours were all higher than 90% when comparing with the control group by MTT test. Cetirizine, 5 and 10 μM, suppressed GM-CSF release by 70.71 and 61.55%, respectively. Preincubation with cetirizine, 10 μM, suppressed the IL-8 secretion by 75.04%.
Cell Assay
Recent studies suggest that several second-generation antihistamines can modulate various inflammatory reactions besides their H(1)-receptor antagonism. The antihistamine cetirizine is a racemic mixture of levocetirizine and dextrocetirizine. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of these two antihistamines (cetirizine and levocetirizine) on granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin (IL)-8 secretion in A549 human airway epithelial cells. A549 cells were preincubated with cetirizine (0.1, 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 microM) or levocetirizine (0.1, 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 microM) individually for 16 hours and were then stimulated with IL-1beta for 8 hours. The levels of GM-CSF and IL-8 in cultured supernatants were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Our data showed that cetirizine (5 and 10 microM) and levocetirizine (2.5, 5, and 10 microM) significantly suppressed GM-CSF secretion from A549 cells stimulated with IL-1beta (p<0.05). Cetirizine (10 microM) and levocetirizine (5 and 10 microM) significantly suppressed IL-8 secretion after A549 was stimulated. The suppressive effect was comparable between levocetirizine, 2.5 microM, and cetirizine, 5 microM, as well as levocetirizine, 5 microM, and cetirizine, 10 microM. Moreover, levocetirizine, 5 microM, was better than cetirizine, 5 microM, on suppressing IL-8 secretion, but such a difference did not appear in other conditions. Our results suggest that cetirizine and levocetirizine at higher concentrations can reduce the release of GM-CSF and IL-8 from A549 cells stimulated with IL-1beta. These observations indicate that the two second-generation antihistamines may exert anti-inflammatory effects beyond histamine H(1)-receptor antagonist, and levocetirizine plays a major role in terms of this activity[2].

Additional Infomation
Cetirizine Hydrochloride is a synthetic phenylmethyl-piperazinyl derivative, antihistaminic Cetirizine is a metabolite of hydroxyzine and a selective peripheral histamine H1-receptor antagonist. It is used for symptomatic treatment of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis and for chronic urticaria. (NCI04)
A potent second-generation histamine H1 antagonist that is effective in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, chronic urticaria, and pollen-induced asthma. Unlike many traditional antihistamines, it does not cause drowsiness or anticholinergic side effects.
Anti-Allergic Agents: Agents that are used to treat allergic reactions. Most of these drugs act by preventing the release of inflammatory mediators or inhibiting the actions of released mediators on their target cells. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p475) (See all compounds classified as Anti-Allergic Agents.)
Histamine H1 Antagonists, Non-Sedating: A class of non-sedating drugs that bind to but do not activate histamine receptors (DRUG INVERSE AGONISM), thereby blocking the actions of histamine or histamine agonists. These antihistamines represent a heterogenous group of compounds with differing chemical structures, adverse effects, distribution, and metabolism. Compared to the early (first generation) antihistamines, these non-sedating antihistamines have greater receptor specificity, lower penetration of BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER, and are less likely to cause drowsiness or psychomotor impairment.
